Partnership Allows Taxpayers toAccess Their Refunds
Faster and Enjoy the Benefits of a Feature-Rich Debit Card All Year

AUGUSTA, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2018--
TaxSlayer,
a leading online and professional tax and financial technology company,
has created the TaxSlayer Prepaid Visa Card. The card, which will be
offered to consumers beginning with the upcoming 2018 tax season, was
developed using Green Dot Corporation’s “Banking as a Service” Platform,
which will also be the platform used to provide ongoing portfolio and
program management services.

TaxSlayer completed 10 million state and federal e-files in 2018 and
issued 12 billion dollars in refunds. TaxSlayer customers will have the
option to sign up for the TaxSlayer Prepaid Visa Card during their tax
filing process in 2019, which will allow for fast and easy direct
deposit of their tax refund. This will serve as a compelling option to
those without a direct deposit option for their refunds or for those
currently using more expensive checking accounts or prepaid cards to
manage their finances.

The TaxSlayer Prepaid Visa Card, issued by Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC,
is a full-service reloadable prepaid debit card account featuring free
early Direct Deposit, free Bill Pay, a large network of fee-free ATMs
and no overdraft fees or penalty fees of any kind.

The announcement was made today during the Money
20/20 conference in Las Vegas.

“Green Dot’s Banking as a Service Platform is designed to provide
leading companies, like TaxSlayer, with the technology, tools and
regulated banking services required to design and deploy best in breed,
technology-forward banking products to their customers and partners,”
said Seth Ross, Green Dot’s SVP of Business Development. “We are proud
to help power TaxSlayer’s banking goals as a valued platform partner.”

“The partnership with Green Dot is important to our mission of turning
tax payers into tax slayers by making it easier and more convenient to
e-file taxes and take control of their refunds for bills, savings or a
fun splurge,” said Seth Babb, Director of Consumer Products for
TaxSlayer. “With the new TaxSlayer Prepaid Visa Card, our customers can
experience the same value and ease of use in banking all year long as
they have come to expect from us during tax season.”
